Not much fun, Kat. Take it easy and give yourself time to heal when it's done.:)

Kat, I'm praying for you that all goes well. Keep us posted!

Well while surgery isn't fun or wanted, it IS very much needed. Let us know what is happening after you go today.

I've read about the mesh procedure - kinda like patching drywall, isn't it? :rolleyes: I'll know more after I see the surgeon tomorrow.

My brother has had a hernia near his bellybutton for four years, but they can't operate until he loses about 50 lbs. He doesn't consider that enough motivation to stick with a diet. :eek: He's drivin' me craaaazy!

A surgery is never something routine and easy to think about for ourselves, but the doc's will have no problem. It's routine for them and I know you'll be fine. Will they be doing a mesh procedure? Keep us posted!

yay, at least they discovered the problem.

too bad they discovered A problem though. it kinda would have been a bit cooler if there was nothing wrong.

sending you a whole bunch of healing vibes and prayers :D

My doctor called and said the CT scan confirms I do have hernia, so I'm NOT being a hypochondriac.

The bad news is, I have a ventral hernia, which isn't as easy to fix, so she says.

The surgeon's office sent a health history form for me to fill out. They only have four lines available to list all my surgeries. Riiiight. I wrote, "see attachment."

Just gotta hold it together one more day and night....
